Silje Nergaard's voice has a soft, innocent girlish
sound, effortlessly breezing through deep dark tones to crystal clear highs. In
her concerts she is a virtuoso at charming her audience and yet, time and time
again, drawing attention to her musicians. The solos from Pat Metheney or Tord
Gustavsen are legendary. On many of her CDs you can sense her openness and
interest in the creativity of her musicians. Silje Nergaard moves light footed
between jazz, folk and rock. From every genre she selects what she
needs,infusing her melodies with a life all their own, but finally it's the
musical freedom implicit in jazz and her high level of professionalism and
charm, that turn her concerts into a sensation.
